Henry Paulus, came to The Republican office Saturday to pay for a classified ad Which did not bring results. He lost an endgate some time ago and after discovering the loss drove back to the hitch rack expecting to find it there. On his way he met a stranger carrying an end gate. He did not recognize it as his and not knowing the man did not speak to him about it. When he did not find the endgate at the hitch rack he hunted for the man but could not find him. Then he advertised but without result. Saturday he again had a loss, this time a light log chain, which he is again

Information is still wanted as to the whereabouts of one U. S. Magazine rifle and some other property belonging to the government and charged to me. I” will appreciate any information that will lead to the recovery of these articles.—Geo. H. Healey.

Rev. U. M. McGuire returned to his home in Lansing, Mich., today, after filling the pulpit for two Sundays at the Baptist church, ol which he, was the pastor for some time prior to 22 years ago.. He found the old town so changed and improved that he scarcely knew it. He renewed many old acquaintances while here. His son is in business at Lansing and Rev. McGuire is temporarily out of the active ministry.

Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Hollister returned home Saturday from Montana. where they had been since last fall. They spent most of the time with their son, J. S. Hollister, at Miles City, but made two visits to Three Forks to visit their granddaughter. Mrs. W. C. Maines and the great grandchild, which “Deacon’’ says takes after its great granddad and is the smartest boy n Montana. It won’t hardly seem natural for Deacon to be back in Rensselaer unless he again goes to work at the mill and he looks physically able to take up his old job again.

A vice detective employed by Mayor Keller at South Bend is in bad. He caused 67 arrests and was himself arrested and fined for making improper remarks to a 16-year-old girl. He married to wealthy widow aged 68 years and was then sued for breach of promise because he had deserted Miss Mary Burnside, aged 25. He is-also to be tried for acting as a detective without having taken, out a license. The South Bend police are thought to stand in with the law violators and the mayor was unable to secure convictions through them. A shake up is apt to follow. -

WHITE LEGHORNS VERY POPULAR

Small. Birds are Hard to Breed to Standard but They are Profitable Fowls. There is no let-i’.p in the popularity of the White Leghorn, and there will not be. The White Leghorn Is popular because it deserves to be popular. It is beautiful, and it is as useful as it is beautiful. White Leghorns outnumber all other varieties combined on the large egg farms of the country, though a few other varieties are doubtless as good layers. There has been a great development in the Leghorns, especially in the White Laghorns, within the past few years. The old idea of the Leghorn was that it looked more “stylish” if its tail stood straight up. Now such a bird has no chance whatever of winning at a poultry show. Long backs and low tails are the fashion, and surely they are more beautiful than the previous styles. There isn’t anything more beautiful in poultry than a White Leghorn, male or female, with a fine five-point comb, full well rounded breast, long back, sloping slightly downward, with the tail well spread and carried quite low, the bird set upon a pair of good strong legs of good length. The color is as beautiful as the shape. The plumage is cf course snow white in the ideal bird, and a bird with creaminess or brassiness in plumage has little chance- of winning. The red of the comb and wattles and the white of the wattles are features of the beauty of this variety, as well as the yellow legs and toes. The comb is an important section in the Leghorn. On account of its size, which is quite large, a Leghorn comb which approaches perfection is quite rare, so that a cut in a showroom of one point on comb is a light cut. If a Leghorn has a poor comb it can scarcely expect to win in strong competition. According to the Standard, the value of the comb is one-tenth of the whole bird. Bright yellow legs are most desirable, but not easy to obtain, especially in combination with snow-white plumage. The coloring matter that makes the legs yellow is likely to put creaminess into the plumage, while lack of creaminess in the plumage may mean paleness of legs. The white plumage and the yellow legs are rather contradictory characteristics, but we want this combination. In other words, while it is not so difficult to breed White Leghorns true-i to color as In the case of barred rocks, still there are plenty of difficult problems, and a bird that combines excellencies in all the points named above is not often seen in this variety. Leghorns are kept chiefly for laying purposes. Eggs are the foundation of the poultry business, and the production of eggs is the most profitable branch of poultry keeping. But Leghorns are not the inferior table folws many suppose them to be, especially when ypqng. They are not large, but they mature quickly and they reach a weight of a pound and a half to two pounds almost as early as any of the larger varieties, and at this size they are line as broilers or frys. At any age, if properly fattened, they are not inferior table fowls, though not equal, to be sure, to some of the larger varieties. There is a great deal of current discussion among Leghorn breeders as to size. There has been no standard weight for Leghorns, but there probably will be after 1915. The demand is for larger Leghorns than we have been accustomed to, anl already the judges are giving the preference, other things being equal, to birds that are larger than the average Legohrn. Few fanciers admire a very small Leghorn, but they do not want to see the Leghorn become a coarse bird like the English Leghorn. A weight of three and one-half bounds in a pulelt to five and one-half in a cock is surely sufficient.

Benefit of Roads to Non-Abutting Property Owners

The road-building specialists of the department, in Bulletin No. 136, entitled “Highway Bonds,” have the following to say about the benefit of a well constructed highway to property owners whose property is not directly on the road to be improved: In planning the highway system Or the main market roads it will be found necessary to omit many roads the improvement of which is greatly desired by abutting landowners. The fact that such property'holders must pay a tax for the bond issue is only an apparent injustice, for if the highway system is well planned the entire county will feel the benefits of the improvement. As a rule, main market roads reach the majority of producing areas ; and wbe they are improved all land values tend to increase. i The Tact that cities and larger towns i are frequently taxed for bond issues to build highways outside of their own limits is sometimes made a point of debate in bond elections. It is argued that because a large part of the county wealth is within the corporate limit of such cities -and towns highway bond money should also -be used to construct their streets. It is even urged that the expenditure should be Jaafle proportionate to the assessed valuation within the city limits. If the proceeds of highway bond issues txibuted to this way their purpoay to *9, SMee would __

Progress In Plant Investigations

Satisfactory progress in the standardisation of grain has been made in the past year, according to the annual report of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture. Tentative grades for corn were first published by the department in August of 1913. The various states and commercial organizations which have independent grain-inspection departments have either adopted these grades, or declared their intention of so doing. Their gr§at virtue is that they will enable the shipper to ascertain for himself what grade- his corn will receive at the inspection point, and at the same time permit the buyer to discover whether or not he has received the grade he ordered. Hitherto all corn delivered at country stations has been bought at practically the same price regardless of its water content or soundness. For other grains commercial grades will be fixed as soon as possible and the work will be pressed vigorously, especially in the case of wheat. Preparation of official cotton grades has also been continued and good progress made. Spinning tests of the official grades have also been carried out In the course of the year the bureau has also carried on considerable work in the investigation of a number of wild sorghums scattered over Africa. The seed of these has been obtained and it seems probable that some of these varieties will be better adapted to the humid conditions of the Southern States than Sudan grass, which is now regarded as the most important hay crop in semi-arid regions. Of the new varieties, the 'most striking at present is feterita. Other work of particular Importance to the South has been the distribution of pure varieties of wheat, oats and barley adapted to this region. A marked increase in Interest in winter cereals'* in.the South has been noted in the course of the year and has been encouraged in every possible way. Of particular importance, however, is the establishment of the fact that a new cotton industry can be developed in the southwestern states beyond vhat have hitherto been considered the limits of the cotton belt. The dry climate affords protection against the boll weevil and allows the cotton to be sent to market in better condition. These advantages, it is thought, will compensate for the higher cost of labor and transportation. Other cotton investigations have dealt with the growing of long-staple cotton of the Egyptian type, with the advantages of late thinning of cotton, and wtih singlestalk culture, which is adapted especially to regions infested by the boll weevil. By aiding in forming credit associations to provide the necessary capital, the bureau has also encouraged the production of live stock in regions which are well adapted for forage crops. These crops are too bulky to be transported profitably over long distances, but they can very advantageously be turned into live stock. For this purpose, alfalfa is particularly well adapted. In this connection it is noted that in the South and Southwest, Peruvian alfalfa is becoming more and more poular. This variety has shown more disease resistance than the common alfalfa. Another series of investigations in New York and Pennsylvania has demonetrated that both the yield and the quality of the tobacco crop can be improved by the use of potash and phosphoric acid as a supplement to bam manure. In the dark-tobacco district of Kentucky and Tennessee it has also been found that it can be much more profitable by the liberal use of phosphates. In another division of the bureau’s work much progress has been made in improving the methods of transporting and storing such products as grapes, oranges, fresh figs, pineapples and! lettuce. The result of these investigations should be to put these products on the market in much better condition than hitherto; and by doing away with a large percentage of the waste hitherto considered inevitable, making the industries more profitable than before. In its investigations of various plant diseases, the bureau has found a practical method of controlling apple powdery mildew by pruning and spraying. It has also studied the peach leaf curl. Which is a serious source of loss; the possibility of preventing cranberry diseases, the citrus canker and sugar beet and sweet potato diseases. Successful methods of controlling the latter have already been demonstrated to growers, and a bulletin on the subject Issued. Promising methods of overcoming the potato powdery scab have also been developed. This disease, while confined to Maine and a small portion of New York, appears to be more virulent in this country than abroad. Progress in the development of a variety of cotton suitable to boll weevil conditions has also been encouraging.

Do Not Mix Turnip With Horseradish

In the service and regulatory announcements of the Bureau or Chem istry, U. S. Department erf Agriculture, a statement is published that the addition of turnip to prepared horseradish will be considered an adulteration under the Food and Drugs Act, unless the product is labeled as a compound, with a plain statement of its ingredients. In the same publication the department expresses as an opinion that the addition of artificial color to smoked fish, as usually practiced, results in concealing inferiority, and is therefore a violation of the Food and Drugs Act, eyen though the-use of artificial color is declared upenthe label.

HANGING GROVE.

The Ladies’ Aid meeKwednesday at the home of Mrs. J. Ray. I>. W. Johnson has rented a farm near Roselawn and will move there this spring. The box social was postponed on account of the ibad weather and will be announced again soon. Misses Florence and Ella Bussell and Elvin Bussell visited at the home of their brother, Roy, Saturday night and Sunday. Epworth League has been organized at MeOoysburg with Will McDonald as president. Services will be held at 7 o’clock every Sunday evening. Chas. Armstrong received word last week from Buffalo, N. Y., stating that his brother, Elmer, had lost his wife. She died Monday, Jan. 25, and burial was made at Kansas City, Mo, No particulars regarding the cause of her death were received. Zura Snedcker, daughter of Mr. sand Mrs. A. B. Snedeker, had an other attack -of appendicitis Monday night and was ebnfined to her bed all last week. This makes a number of attacks she has had since last summer and from the severity of this one, another attack may necessitate an operation. - Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Baker, of Frankfort, got off the milk train Thursday morning and made arrangements at once to have a car load of household goods moved out to the Halligan farm, north of McOoysburg. Mr. Baker has 'bought the Lawler timber and intends working it up this year and had rented this house so as to 'be near his work. But it seems he had rented the house and never seen it and when the household goods were pulled up there they found the house in an unfit condition to live in, so consequently had to pull on to Rensselaer, where they found temporary, quarters over Warner Bros, hardware store. Elvin Bussell returned home Saturday evening from a two weeks’ visit with James Lefler and family. There there he visited two big logging camps, w r hioh were very interesting. One camp was running a force of 85 men. They are now getting the logs cut and hauled to the big Menominee river. They build ice roads and haul a whole carload of logs at one sleigh load and drive right out on the ice to unload. One of those timber jacks there will handle a log alone, that here it w’ould take two or three men to handle.
